Republican transition team has said that 'no decisions' regarding a reported transgender military ban have been made.
President-elect Donald Trump's transition team has dismissed a report that he plans to remove all transgender people from serving in the U.S. military.U.K. newspaper The Times reported on Monday, citing unnamed defense sources, that Trump was considering an executive order that would lead to around 15,000 active transgender service members being medically discharged. The order would also ban transgender people from joining the military.
'Should a trans ban be implemented from Day One of the Trump administration it would undermine the readiness of the military and create an even greater recruitment and retention crisis, not to mention signaling vulnerability to America's adversaries,' she said.'Abruptly discharging 15,000-plus service members, especially given that the military's recruiting targets fell short by 41,000 recruits last year, adds administrative burdens to war fighting units.
